New opportunities for adhesives and sealants: Evonik strengthens distribution in the USA

The U.S. adhesives and sealants market is receiving a fresh boost thanks to the expanded collaboration between Evonik Industries and IMCD. Evonik, a German multinational and a leader in the chemical sector, is renowned for developing high-performance chemical ingredients for a wide range of industries, including automotive, construction, packaging, and composites. IMCD, headquartered in the Netherlands, is a global distributor specializing in the commercialization of chemicals and specialty ingredients, with a well-established network across numerous international markets.

After consolidating their partnership in Brazil and Canada, the two companies are now extending their collaboration nationwide in the United States, aiming to make advanced ingredients for industrial formulations more accessible. This strategic move allows better support for adhesives and sealants manufacturers, offering not only fast and reliable supplies but also technical expertise and high-performance chemical solutions.

Applications cover sectors ranging from construction to automotive, as well as packaging and composites, where quality, strength, and durability are essential. Through this initiative, manufacturers can develop adhesives and sealants that meet increasingly complex performance requirements while complying with ever-stricter environmental regulations.

Expanding distribution in the U.S. not only accelerates access to key components but also fosters the development of innovative and sustainable products. It provides greater support in designing materials that combine high performance, resistance to extreme conditions, and environmental compatibility.

Through this collaboration, Evonik reinforces its position as a strategic supplier for the industrial adhesives and sealants sector, focusing on innovation, material quality, and advanced technical support services—critical elements for navigating a dynamic and evolving market. At the same time, IMCD strengthens its role as a key partner for distributing specialty chemical solutions, ensuring faster and more widespread access to Evonik products across the United States.
